About Us

We are opening an ambitious new neighborhood restaurant in Logan Square built around thoughtful food, genuine hospitality, and a collaborative team culture.

Our philosophy is simple: exceptional hospitality should feel effortless. We believe in knowledgeable service without pretension, attention to detail without rigidity, and creating memorable experiences for every guest.

We're looking for professionals who take pride in their craft, enjoy learning, and want to help build something from day one.

Position Summary

As a Bartender, you are both a craftsperson and a host. Beyond preparing exceptional cocktails, wine, and beverages, you create an inviting atmosphere where every guest feels welcomed, engaged, and cared for.

Whether behind the bar or supporting the dining room, you'll deliver polished, knowledgeable service while working collaboratively with the entire team. You understand that great bartending is equal parts technical skill, hospitality, and teamwork.

Responsibilities
  • Prepare and serve cocktails, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages with consistency and attention to detail.
  • Deliver warm, engaging, and personalized hospitality to every guest.
  • Guide guests through the beverage menu with confidence, offering thoughtful recommendations based on their preferences.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked bar throughout service.
  • Execute professional wine service, including by-the-glass and bottle presentations.
  • Prepare beverages for both bar guests and the dining room with accuracy and efficiency.
  • Learn and communicate daily menu updates, seasonal cocktails, wine selections, and featured spirits.
  • Monitor inventory and assist with stocking, organization, and daily bar preparation.
  • Assist with food running, table service, and supporting teammates whenever needed.
  • Follow all responsible alcohol service guidelines and company policies.
  • Complete opening, closing, and side work to company standards.
  • Help maintain a positive, collaborative environment where every team member contributes to the guest experience.
Qualifications
  • Two or more years of bartending experience preferred.
  • Experience in chef-driven, upscale casual, cocktail, or fine dining restaurants is a plus.
  • Strong knowledge of classic cocktails, spirits, wine, and beer.
  • Passion for hospitality and guest engagement.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Calm under pressure with excellent organizational abilities.
  • Professional appearance and demeanor.
  • Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented.
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds.
What We Offer
  • Competitive hourly compensation plus participation in a service charge program.
  • Comprehensive training before opening.
  • Ongoing education in cocktails, spirits, wine, food pairings, and hospitality.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
  • A collaborative, team-first culture built on respect, professionalism, and continuous learning.
Who You Are

You believe bartending is about more than making drinks, it's about creating experiences. You enjoy connecting with guests, take pride in your craft, and understand that consistency, professionalism, and genuine hospitality make all the difference.

You're curious, detail-oriented, dependable, and always willing to support your teammates. Whether crafting a cocktail, pouring a glass of wine, or helping run food during a busy service, you take pride in doing whatever it takes to create an exceptional guest experience.

If you're looking to join an opening team where hospitality, craftsmanship, and collaboration are valued, we'd love to meet you.
